I started this cross stitch piece last April but put it aside to work on other pieces. When I pulled it back out recently, I was delighted to see that all the letters had been stitched along with the ears! :-) It took me two weeks of steady, nightly stitching to finish.
As you can see from this chart, it was designed to be a monotone piece which you probably realize by now is not quite my style. I used a pastel colored piece of 14 count aida and twenty different shades of floss, and I love how it turned out. He is quite the dapper fellow.
Adding the single cross stitch “dots” sprinkled around the piece took two or three nights.
So, what did I accomplish in March?
- a Star Wars quilt made and donated
- Five pillowcases donated
- Four fleece blankets (three to be donated)
- Brenda Gervais - March Word Play cross stitch
- Spring Hare cross stitch
April Goal(s) . . . I have a number of quilts in various stages of completion; two only needs borders. (Sadly, they have both been borderless for over a year. I blame it on the pandemic. :-) Also, I would like to work on some wool applique pieces.
Stay safe, creative, and happy.
